I was wondering why some PS3 disc-based games have 1-gold, while others have 5 gold (if you consider the GoW-collection a single game then it has 10 gold).  Other games like SFIV have rediculously difficult trophies and they only give silver for them, I think it only has 1 gold and it requires online wins. 

So I'd like to know if there are some sort of quota that Sony gives the game devs on the trophies they can give away for the game.  The trophies doesn't seem to be difficulty based since GoW gold trophies easy to accomplish while SFIV can have you grinding for weeks for a few silvers and a paltry 1 gold.  Do the game devs pay for the trophies they can include with the game?  That idea seems absurd but given that there are very few games that are generous enough to give more than 3 gold trophies I'm kind of thinking this may be true.

And so I present the question: Why do you think most game developer studios are stingy when rewarding trophies for their games?

the more gold trophies, the less trophies in total.

i dont know exactly how it's done, but there is a system behind the numbers of trophies in a Game, take a look at the predictions league, its posted there.

^ Isn't the system a bit flawed because a game with more gold would more than outweigh a game with lots of bronze and silvers.

Every game has pretty much the same overall trophyscore: downloadable games obviously have less. A gold is equivalent to 3 silvers, or 6 bronzes. Make of that what you will.

maybe not,  there are Games with 35, but also some with 50+ Trophies.

Ranking:
Trophy league members are ranked in the trophy chart based on the points system. Under the points system, each trophy type is worth a certain number of points. Each bronze trophy is worth 1pt, each silver is worth 2pts, each gold is worth 6pts, and each platinum is worth 12pts. These are the same values that PSN assigns each trophy when determining a player's gamer level, trophy progress in a game, and trophy cap per game.

take a look at the following ones:

http://www.ps3trophies.org/forum/dragon-age-origins/28419-dragon-age-origins-trophy-guide-road-map.html (Dragon Age)

Cross Edge has more than 6 Gold Trophies and many Silver ones, but only 24 in total, while Dragon Age has less higher Trophies, but  51 in total.

i didnt see any Mistake so far.

no each retail game have to have the exact "EXP" that levels your PSN level up.

so say that one game have less trophies but more gold trophies

is the same as one game with more trophies but less gold trophies

they both get the same  exp percent

there is some sort of trophy system but GoW collection was published by sony sooo they can do watever they want lol

*Removed post* - sorry. Pasted into the wrong thread.

no, God of War 1 and 2 are just 2 Games, so the full ammount of trophies for each of them.

no because GoW is two games, if for lets say, The orange box had trophies it will mean there would be 5 platinums in it.
